Open seasonally from May through the beginning of October, Fair Hills hosts over 50 events each year, 10 weeks of family season vacations, and serves hundreds of meals each day. These exciting properties offer opportunities to gain experience in multiple divisions of multiple industries.

Internship Description: This internship will focus on developing, planning, and implementing a program for our youngest vacationers at 2-3 years old, and is geared toward a college student pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education or a similar field. This student will report to the Recreation Director of the resort. Guests will be able to sign-up before their stay for a designated amount of slots to include their children in this program.

The program will run Monday through Friday from 9:15 AM to 11:45 AM in the Blue/Green Room on the lower level of our lobby, although activities can extend to anywhere on the resort (playground, beach, etc). The intern will spend time prior to our family season developing activities & schedules for the program. Next, the intern will implement their program during our busy family season.

Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to: assisting in the program development and creation of policies/procedures, administering/tracking sign-up information, building relationships with children & families, maintaining a friendly, safe, & healthy environment, leading curriculum & activities for children, professionally communicating conflict if it arises, and provide outstanding guest services.
